Your meaning of life? Why do you get out of bed in the morning?

Over the course of the last year, as a lot of us do moving from school to uni, I've had a year where I've changed a lot, done a lot of things differently than I would have a year ago. Had a change perception of certain events and ideas, more of a 'finding yourself' year, except I've got to the end of the year and maybe just crashed a little on it all.

We all make our own meaning to life, I know that, its what we make of the world. But honestly, what do you guys make your own meaning of life to be? What makes you get out of (or jump out of, or even roll out of) bed in the morning?

New experiences. Discovery. Having fun. Because my parents throw off my bedding when I sleep into the afternoon.

Haha, as much as some of these answers are the truth and are amusing, I think he's looking for "bigger picture" type answers :P

i study to become educated enough to halt the oppression and poverty happening in Africa/palestine/Iraq/afghanistan. i have no political affiliations. i dont really care 'who started it', but i want to help in ending it. A pharmacy or medicine degree may help improve burden of disease in such counties (mass vaccinations/immunisations/buster shots) . A commerce degree might give me the 'know how' to develop a non profit charity organisation. etc etc 
i havent really thought about which pathway is for me, but i feel obligated to help somehow

My life is meaningless at the moment. I have nothing to do, too lazy to find a job and I don't have any friends. Gawd, this is so depressing.

Yeah, I second KP's link. I strive for inner peace and tranquility, to do no harm. Really, the only times I ever feel tranquil is when I'm sparring, helping someone, or laying on a nice patch of grass when it's a really nice day, or just walking randomly and touching stuff. So currently, whilst I don't think my life has a single 'meaning', my answer is to help people - which is where my desire to teach manifests from.
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️
